What an excellent tour and location. Ivan (My guide) was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about the topic and personable. It was the perfect balance of history, experience and emotion to make a very memorable adventure. Safety was also never a concern of mine. Ivan made sure to keep the journey interactive while also ensuring we never ventured anywhere that might expose us, or to areas that are no longer structurally sound.

While visiting Ukraine, I was recommended Svet and his tour by my hotel. I was looking for a tour on that particular day, and he made it happened. He was very flexible, friendly, energetic, knowledgeable and overall, I had a great time with him. I booked him on two different occasions and he was able to take me to all the various sites that I wanted to see, and others that he recommended. I found that his prices were very fair, especially for the private tours, that I got. If you want to see clubs, museums, historical sites, or anything else, just let him know, and he will make it happen! I defiantly, plan on using his services again, the next time, that I visit Ukraine! Thank for the great time, Svet! Artem
